I hope he comes through it okay, but he’s in his 70s, so that doesn’t sound good.

I wish you good health, Steve! You are an amazing human.

WTF why Mexico City. You think as a billionaire he have himself flown to America?

I hope he pulls through.

The first two sentences of the article literally answer your question.

You don’t even need to click on it. The little preview gives you that info.

…an event he attended in the country’s capital

Yes but which event? And which country’s capital? And who is Steve Wozniak? The mysteries abound. We may never know the truth.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble ,

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was hospitalized in Mexico City on Wednesday, a source from the organizers of the World Business Forum (WBF), an event he attended in the country’s capital, told CNN En Español.

You’d have to click the article to see what event. But he was at an event in mexico city. They’re not going to tell you every single detail in the 2 sentence preview

That comment is sarcasm, implying that you can learn more by reading the article.

Rich talk from a person from a country that is known for hitting up Mexico for affordable healthcare.

Last I checked the USA spends more per capita on healthcare and has worse results on the measures that matter.

It’s a little more nuanced than that. One of the biggest issues is access, not necessarily the quality of the care itself. But when you’re poor and don’t get care, the data looks pretty shitty. If you were to look only at the people with access (or wealthy people in particular), the USA actually looks pretty good. Of course, that’s meaningless for population health and only relevant for individuals.

I could write like 3 pages about why it’s expensive on top just the broken insurance system.

Plenty of rich people in the US go elsewhere for procedures. But also, plenty of people come to the US for the same. My friend is an ECMO specialist and did his thing (sticking huge tubes into people’s arteries) on a few Saudi Arabian princes. No idea what the procedure itself was, though.

(I’m agreeing with you on the nuance, by the way)

splicerslicer ,

The US has some of the best healthcare, doctors, surgeons in the world if you can afford it and that last part is important, but not to people as wealthy as woz. He most likely needed immediate care, which is concerning

Wozniak is not a billionaire

Douchy comment of the day award goes to you

He was already in Mexico City for the World Business Forum, they wouldn’t waste time flying him to Dallas or San Diego when he’s already in a large city with hospitals.

Confused_Emus ,

Right? As if any of those primitive brown people would know shit about the medical sciences?
